Since Chen Zhirong entered the Zhao Mansion, he changed his name and surname to become Zhang Yuer, relying on some chips in his hand to win Zhao Junchen's "trust", and was soon sent by Zhao Junchen to Nanzhili to take charge of some plans.

However, not long after entering the territory of Zhili, Zhang Yuer's abdomen showed colic, which was very mild at first, only occasionally, but soon became more frequent and more intense, and in the end, it was like a knife cutting and a gun, day and night, and it became more and more intense.

In addition, after Zhang Yuer arrived in Nanzhili, he was bent on proving his ability and value to Zhao Junchen, and put all his thoughts on Zhao Junchen's several plans, not only ignoring his own condition, but also not getting enough rest, and after the abdominal cramps became unbearable, Zhang Yuer finally reacted, realizing that his condition was much more serious than he imagined, but the condition was out of control. Even the cause of the disease cannot be identified.

In the end, it was only more than half a month, Zhang Yuer had been tortured by abdominal cramps to the point that she was not human, and her once glamorous appearance became gray and haggard, and there were even blood stains when she went to the toilet.

At this point, the situation is already very serious.

That night, after Zhang Yuer dragged her sick body and endured abdominal pain to deal with a few affairs, she couldn't hold on anymore and returned to her room to rest.

However, the severe abdominal pain made Zhang Yuer unable to sleep no matter what, but her willpower was extremely strong, and she was never willing to show others her weak side, even if the pain was unbearable, she clenched her silver teeth and forcibly supported it, only occasionally she couldn't bear it and let out a soft snort.

And just when Zhang Yuer was tossing and turning because of severe abdominal pain, someone suddenly pushed open the door and entered the room.

Zhang Yu'er reluctantly looked up, but saw that the person who entered the room was a middle-aged woman with an ordinary appearance and a slightly gloomy expression, this person's name was Li Qing, and she was a very old woman in the Zhao Mansion, because Zhang Yu'er only had a cronie with red sleeves when she entered the Zhao Mansion, so Zhao Junchen asked Fang Ru to select some capable, loyal and reliable maids and old mothers in the Zhao Mansion to serve Zhang Yu'er, and Li Qing was one of them.

Li Qing walked lightly to Zhang Yuer's side, and after seeing Zhang Yuer's pale face and sweating profusely, he held a bowl of hot bone broth in both hands and handed it to Zhang Yuer's mouth, and said, "Miss Yu'er, is your stomach hurting again?" A bowl of hot soup may feel better. ”

Zhang Yuer nodded lightly, was supported by Li Qing to barely support her body from the bed, and drank hot soup in small sips.

On the other side, when Li Qing was waiting for Zhang Yu'er to drink soup, the expression on his face was a little uncertain, as if he was hesitating about something.

After Zhang Yu'er drank a few sips of hot soup, she also saw Li Qing's expression change in the blink of an eye, but she suddenly said, "Just say something." ”

When she spoke, Zhang Yuer's voice was weak and weak, but her tone still revealed a shrewdness and strength that people could not ignore.

Hearing Zhang Yu'er's inquiry, Li Qing's body trembled slightly, lowered his head and said, "Miss Yu'er, you have searched for famous doctors in Nanzhili during this time, but your body is still not improving, but it is getting more serious...... Everyone below said, and they all said......"

Halfway through the words, Li Qing didn't dare to continue.

Zhang Yu'er accentuated her tone slightly, and asked, "What do you say?" ”

Li Qing's head lowered more and more, and said, "Everyone is speculating...... Miss Yu'er, have you been poisoned......"

Hearing Li Qing's words, Zhang Yuer's delicate body, which had become thinner and thinner during this period of time, subconsciously trembled slightly.

In fact, this illness is very strange, Zhang Yuer's physical condition has always been very good, and it is impossible for such a serious illness to appear for no reason!

The most important thing is that Zhang Yuer's current illness and onset process are too similar to Zhao Shancai, who suddenly "died" some time ago!

When Zhang Yuer was working for Chen You, the Duke of Jingguo, she had always been in charge of intelligence matters, and she also deduced from various clues that Zhao Shancai's death was likely because someone poisoned him!

Therefore, there is no need for Li Qing to remind her, Zhang Yuer also has the same inference in her heart - she is likely to have been poisoned!

Moreover, according to the time of Zhao Shancai's death, Zhang Yuer speculated that if she allowed the symptoms of abdominal pain to develop, she would probably not live for more than a month!

Zhang Yu'er naturally can't sit still, she has been secretly investigating who poisoned herself for a while, but she doesn't know that her abdominal pain is because she has ingested a large amount of diamond powder - diamond powder itself is not toxic, but it will stick to the inside of the stomach and intestines and constantly wear and tear and destroy, and eventually cause gastric ulcers and gastrointestinal bleeding, so Zhang Yuer's secret exploration has not made any progress.

At this time, hearing Li Qing's words, it once again touched Zhang Yuer's tense heartstrings, and her expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Then, Zhang Yuer's eyes, which were originally a little gloomy because of the pain, suddenly flashed a trace of essence, turned her head to look at Li Qing again, and asked, "You have always been a duty, and you never mentioned the gossip of the people below, why did you suddenly mention this matter?" I'm afraid there is some reason, right? ”

Zhang Yu'er's tone was gentle, but anyone could hear the questioning.

Li Qing's expression was a little nervous, and he replied stumblingly, "This afternoon...... I, when I went to the vegetable market to buy bone soup for the girl, I was suddenly stopped, the man was vicious, tall and big, and after threatening me a few words, he said that he knew how you were poisoned, girl, and claimed that he had a way to detoxify the girl...... Then he handed me a letter and told me to give it to the girl in private, so that no one could see it......"

After speaking, Li Qing took out a secret letter from his arms and handed it to Zhang Yuer.

Zhang Yuer reached out and took the secret letter and opened it to check, and found that there were only four words written in the letter - "Turn back to the shore"!

In addition to these four words, there is also a secret mark on the edge of the letter paper - Zhang Yuer is also very familiar with this secret note, which is a secret mark commonly used by the seventh prince Zhu Hejian when he secretly contacts people.

After seeing the content of the letter, Zhang Yuer's expression suddenly became gloomy.

But faintly, there is still a hint of relaxation!

Since Zhang Yuer realized that her abdominal pain symptoms were likely to be poisoned, she also secretly guessed who the mastermind behind the scenes would be! Zhang Yuer's poisoning symptoms are completely consistent with Zhao Shancai's original situation, so it is very likely that the mastermind behind these two incidents will be the same person!

Among the hundred officials of the Manchu Dynasty, only two people had the reason and ability to poison Zhao Shancai.

One is the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian, and the other is Zhao Junchen!

These two are the sworn enemies of the crown prince Zhu and Yu, and the last thing they want to see is that Zhu Heyu successfully ascended the throne and became the new emperor, and they also deeply realized Zhao Shancai's true skills, they understand very well that as long as Zhao Shancai continues to assist the crown prince Zhu and Yu, the crown prince Zhu and Yu's status in the court will be as stable as Mount Tai, so both of them have a reason to poison Zhao Shancai, and with the characters of the two of them, there will be no hesitation to do such a thing.

At the same time, both of them also had a reason to poison Zhang Yuer!

For the seventh prince Zhu Hejian, Zhang Yuer is both a traitor and a threat, so naturally there is a good reason to poison Zhang Yuer as a means of revenge; For Zhao Junchen, it was not out of his heart that he would include Zhang Yuer in the Zhao Mansion as a concubine, but that Zhang Yuer used extremely disgraceful means to make him have no choice, although Zhang Yuer quickly took out his own bargaining chips and reflected his own value after entering the Zhao Mansion, but for Zhao Junchen, Zhang Yuer is an unstable factor after all, so Zhao Junchen also has a reason to secretly start!

Among these two possibilities, Zhang Yuer prefers the former, but the latter is not completely impossible!

Zhang Yu'er is not particularly afraid that the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian will poison and assassinate herself, after all, Zhang Yu'er has had such awareness and psychological preparation since the moment she betrayed Zhu Hejian, and such a situation can always find a way to resolve it! But deep down in Zhang Yuer's heart, she is very afraid that the mastermind behind the poisoning and assassination of herself will be Zhao Junchen! - If Zhao Junchen really can't tolerate her, then she will have nowhere to go!

This kind of worry has been secretly tormenting Zhang Yuer for a period of time, and the pain and anxiety in her heart are no more than abdominal cramps and death threats.

Of course, on the surface, Zhang Yuer never showed the slightest sign.

But now, after seeing this secret letter, coupled with the sender's claim that he had a way to detoxify Zhang Yuer, Zhang Yuer finally determined that the person who poisoned and assassinated him was not Zhao Junchen, but the seventh prince Zhu Hejian!

Moreover, the words "turning back to the shore" in the letter are obviously the seventh prince Zhu Hejian who wants to take the opportunity to blackmail Zhang Yuer to continue to work for him!

After Zhang Yuer was sent to Nanzhili by Zhao Junchen, she has been in charge of several important plans of Zhao Junchen, such as the matter of "United Boat Trip", such as the preliminary preparations of the imperial court for the six departments of Nanjing, and the plan to use the "Cultural Disaster" to buy Shilin, these plans are extremely important, once the seventh prince Zhu Hejian uses Zhang Yu'er to secretly do something, it is enough to cause a change in the entire pattern of the government and the opposition!

I'm afraid that Zhu Hejian originally just wanted to poison Zhang Yuer to prevent future troubles, but after seeing Zhang Yuer's value, he changed his mind and wanted to turn Zhang Yuer into his spy who was ambushed by Zhao Junchen's side.

After thinking about this, Zhang Yuer's mood became gloomy, but she was also secretly a little relaxed - this means that Zhao Junchen did not tolerate her, and Zhu Hejian would not kill her immediately, which can be described as the best result for Zhang Yuer at present.

I saw Zhang Yu'er's expression change for a moment, but she raised her head to Li Qing again and asked, "What else did that person say besides giving you this secret letter?" ”

Li Qing hurriedly replied: "That person said that if Miss Yu'er is willing to turn back, you can hang a red lantern outside the door of the mansion, and then he will try to contact you again!" ”

This time, Zhang Yu'er was silent for a long time, then slowly closed her eyes and said softly: "So far, there is no choice...... Send someone outside and hang a red lantern! Hehe...... It's the shore to turn back......"

In any case, Zhang Yuer's life was in the hands of the Seventh Prince Zhu Hejian.

For Zhang Yuer, the current situation is the most important thing to ensure her own life.

"Miss! Miss! Wake up, we're almost to Zhao's Mansion! ”

In the capital, a carriage was driving towards Zhao Junchen's mansion.

Inside the carriage, under the soft call of the cronies and maids Red Sleeves, Zhang Yuer slowly opened her eyes from her sleep.

After getting the antidote method, after more than a month of recuperation and treatment, Zhang Yuer's physical condition has recovered most of it, her appearance is still a little haggard, and her body is still a little thin and weak, but she has roughly recovered her original glamorous appearance, and there is a more pitiful and touching meaning between her hands and feet.

It's just that Zhang Yuer's face after waking up is not very good-looking, and she seems to be in a bad mood.

As Zhang Yuer's cronies, Red Sleeves naturally noticed the change in Zhang Yuer's mood for the first time, but asked cautiously: "Miss, we are about to return to the Zhao Mansion, but I think Miss you seem to be a little unhappy?" ”

Zhang Yu'er shook her head slightly, her eyes flickered slightly, and said, "I dreamed of something a month ago just now...... It's true that my heart is a little unhappy......"

Red Sleeves opened his mouth to speak, but it seemed that he suddenly thought of some taboos, and finally kept silent.

In the silence of the master and servant, the carriage slowly drove into the Zhao Mansion through the side door.

Then, the red sleeves helped Zhang Yuer get out of the carriage.

After Zhang Yu'er got out of the carriage, she looked up, but saw that Fang Ru was already smiling and leading several Zhao Mansion stewards towards her.

Walking in front of Zhang Yu'er, Fang Ru grabbed Zhang Yu'er's plain hands affectionately and said, "Sister Yu'er, you're finally back!" Don't you know, my lord, since he knew that you were unwell in Nanzhili, he has been extremely worried, and immediately sent someone to pick you up to heal your body, sister, I am also very anxious, now that I see that you are fine, sister, I will be relieved! ”

Zhang Yuer also had a close expression, and said with a smile: "My sister is in Nanzhili these days, and she also misses Lord Zhao and Sister Ruyi very much. ”

When they spoke, the two were like sisters.

But then, the original atmosphere of harmony took a sharp turn for the worse.

……

PS: There are only two ways to write the Internet, in general, one is "driven by the plot of the character", and the other is "driven by the plot of the character", the writing of the bug has always been biased towards the former, and when writing, he will substitute himself into the main character, and will never change the personality, thoughts, and IQ of the characters in the pen for the development of the plot.

Zhang Yuer's character design is somewhat similar to Fang Ru, but her personality should be more independent, her style should be more self-contained, unlike Fang Ru, who is just Zhao Junchen's "accessory", she has an obvious role in promoting the plot, but it is not easy to control, and it is easy to breed many unnecessary plots, in short, it is a double-edged sword, so the insect has been hesitating how to deal with this role, what is it that makes her "famous"? Or give her more room to play?

After hesitating for a long time, Worm finally decided to give her more room to play, which would make the book more difficult to write, and the completion of the plan would be delayed by about 100,000 words, but it would also make the rest of the content more substantial and exciting.
